Running for office

He has said since 2023 that he intends to run — first for the House seat that includes the Imperial Valley, then, on the plan he set down on January 1, 2026, for president in 2028. The platform is already written, because it is the record: the water plan the river programs adopted, the data-property doctrine the states are legislating, the efficiency mandate a department was built on. What follows is the record of the intention, in his own words, and where it stands.

In his words

• Aug 27 2022X “On my way to 2028!”
• Jul 10 2023X “I'm going to run for office. We'll see how my account & voice is treated then.”
• Jan 18 2024X Addressed to Donald Trump: “my name is Blake Davis and I believe I can help with our World Relations especially Mexico,” proposing hydroponic forage crops for Southern California.
• Feb 17 2024X Asks whether the federal government may affect a citizen's confidence in winning an election “when considering running for Congress within your local district for reasons you have publicly advocated for,” citing censorship.
• Mar 20 2024X To Rep. Brian Mast: whether cognitive disruption through censorship is used as a deterrent against running for congressional office.
• Apr 29 2024X A cattle-methane credit proposal to Rep. Harriet Hageman, signed #VoteForMe.
• May 2 2024X A hypothetical put to Del. Stacey Plaskett: an account created “to illustrate my opinion to run for public office” and what the government advises against it.
• May 20 2024X “I am interested in being nominated.”
• Sep 1 2024X “Would you vote for me?”
• Jan 5 2025Session Asks Grok to grade his account “from an American citizen perspective … in the running for Congress in 2024 in the new 25th district of California against Raul Ruiz.”
• Mar 11 2025Session Frames “an American citizen [who] got censored from running for congress” as a civil-RICO plaintiff.
• May 20 2025Session “If an American citizen is being censored for running for office how could that not be illegal?”
• Aug 2 2025Session “Every private citizen has the right to run for office and therein the constitutional right to be heard by their peers equally and evenly.”
• Jan 1 2026Session Asks who is running for the Imperial Valley seat and when a campaign must register. Of the incumbent: “Ruiz isn't doing anything for the Salton Sea that I haven't tweeted first.” States that “censorship prevented me from running in 2024.” Confirms a 2026 House run is compatible with a 2028 presidential run, then: “Let's do it make me a game plan to get to the presidency by 2028 first running for congress.”

The plan as drafted

The seat

The House district that includes the Imperial Valley — the 25th on the map in effect when he explored the run — held by Rep. Raul Ruiz (D) since 2013. His case against the incumbent is the Salton Sea and water record documented in the Priority and Positions sections.

The sequence

Drafted by Grok on his instruction on January 1, 2026: file and run for the House in 2026 as an outsider on Salton Sea restoration, water efficiency, data ownership and anti-censorship; use the seat to build a national profile through 2027; announce for president in early 2028. The draft put the cost at $500k–$1M for the House race and $100M or more for a presidential run, and noted that no sitting House member has gone directly to the presidency since James Garfield in 1880.

Funding

He regards AIPAC as the natural funder of a pro-Israel candidate with his record — “they are positioned to realize the data they are looking at” (May 10, 2026) — and has written to it since May 2024; see the Legal page.

Party

He writes as a conservative — “as a conservative” (Nov 2023), “as republicans” (Jun 2024) — and the draft assumed a Republican or independent ballot line to run against a Democratic incumbent.

Eligibility

House: 25 years old, seven years a citizen, resident of the state. President: natural-born citizen, 14 years resident, and 35 by inauguration — he turns 35 on June 26, 2028, seven months before January 20, 2029.

Why not 2024

His account, stated in 2024 and again in January 2026, is that the suppression of his X distribution prevented a 2024 run. That allegation, and the redress he has pursued with inspectors general and the FTC, is documented in the Censorship section.

The platform, in his words

Your data is your property.

What is taken from you without your consent is a taking, and the Fifth Amendment says what happens next. Data ownership with compensation, retroactive to the two decades of collection — the modern homestead.

First to publish.

Your publication under your own name is your filing. The Copyright Office and the Patent Office already do the two halves; connect them and the inventor keeps the invention. Innovation belongs to the people.

Water before everything.

Free the water before the crop is grown, not after: forage-for-water in the Imperial Valley, the New River renegotiated, the Salton Sea put back on a path to what it was. Farmers own their water; the state pays them to save it.

Speech and redress, by the letter.

No covert moderation of Americans by their own government through a platform's terms of service. Petition is a working right; quantify the grievance and the remedy follows. Section 230 gets the retroactive treatment it earned.

Cyber justice for citizens.

One place to report, one obligation to take the report, one civilian forensics standard, and liability for an ecosystem that ships unpatched and calls it encryption.

Strength abroad, order at home.

Strengthen Israel rather than direct it; hostages rescued, not traded; the Americas first, then the Pacific; data ownership before tariffs. No modern civil war — the division is the threat.

Economic treason is a crime.

The Economic Treason Act: the theft of citizens' data and inventions by platforms working with their government is named, prosecuted and repaid.
